THE SPRiNG MAKE-UP MENU

Spring is finally here and we had some gorgoeus days the past few weeks. As I started switching my perfumes and nail polishes, I also switch up my make-ups. Lighter bases are more favourable at the moment and lighful colours are my thing. I also like fresh, dewy look for this time of the year. The sort of no make-up make-up look is my beauty look book for spring.

Before anything else, I always use SPF as part of prepping my skin. The Clarins UV Plus Anti-Pollution Day Screen with SPF 50 is perfect as it is light and doesn't leave a white mask on the face. It also has anti-pollution properties that protects the skin from pollution. Another Clarins product that is a permanent fixture on my daily routine is their Instant Light Radiance Boosting Complexion Base in Apricot. This is part of the brand's Aquatic Treasures Collection for Summer 2015.  This gives a nice hint of tan on the skin that looks very natural. I use it before my foundation and it gives a beautiful sun kissed look. I also use it alone when I feel like a good skin days. My favourite light base for every day use is the Bourjois Health Mix Serum. Since I started using this foundation, this remains to be one of my favourite foundations. It offers medium coverage without looking heavy and it gives the most natural-looking dewy skin.

For the cheeks, I usually rely on cream blushes during this time of the year. Cream blushes looks more natural and dewy. My current favourite blush is the Bobbi Brown Calypso Coral Pot Rouge. It gives the prettiest peachy cheeks. For more options, The Balm How 'Bout Them Apples Cheek and Lip Cream Palette has six shades to choose from. The palette has pinks, peaches, mauve, and red shades. You can have any look that you desire. For added glow and highlight, I use the Clinique Chubby Stick Sculpting Highlight. As it is a creamy highlight, it gives the right amount of glow that almost looks natural. A bit of magic I usually say.

For the eyes, I only rely usually on mascaras. My current obsession is the Kiko Dawn Till Dusk Volume Effect Mascara. It gives a volumise effect on the lashes with clumping them. It just feels that you have natural, fabulous lashes. For the lips, the Clarins Instant Light Lip Balm Perfector has been on constant use. Aside that it smells great, it is hydrating and gives the right amount of tint. To keep my make-up last long, instead of using setting powders, I am now relying on the Clarins Fix Make-Up. It prolongs your make-up and you can also use it to refresh your make-up on hot days.

So these are my choices for a fresh, spring, everyday make-up look. What are your favourite make-up choices for spring?

XoXo,
